Spell to Get a Raise



Excerpt from The Supermarket Sorceress by Lexa Roséan

This is a money spell to receive the raise you know you deserve!

Ingredients needed: oatmeal, cinnamon, walnuts, and a pinch of salt

Did you know that the origin of salary is SALARUIM or "SALT MONEY", the Roman word for salt rations. Walnuts were so rare in ancient Persia that they once served as currency. Cinnamon was a favorite among the gods of ancient Egypt and Greece and offered to influence them to grant the requests of mortals. Oatmeal eaten in the morning draws money and prosperity. Prepare a bowl of oatmeal adding walnuts. Sprinkle cinnamon on top in the shape of a dollar sign. Add a pinch of salt. Do this during a new moon cycle on the morning you ask your boss for a raise.

If you work on commission, you can eat this every morning or prepare a talisman to carry with you to increase sales. Simply take a walnut shell, add five grains of uncooked oatmeal, a pinch of salt, and sprinkle the cinnamon on top in the shape of a dollar sign. Wrap the walnut shell in a dollar bill. Make sure the pyramid on the dollar is facing the outside. Carry this in your pocket or purse. (English equivelent: a pound coin Queens head up. Put walnut on top of Queens head.)
